Cutting sweetcorn off the cob with a knife sends kernels bouncing across the floor. This ring does the cutting and keeps them in a clear chamber until you tip them out.

Off the cob without the scatter

Stand the cob up
Trim the stalk end flat so the cob stands on the board without rolling.

Fit the ring over the top and push down with a slight twist, all the way to the board.
03
Pour the kernels
Lift it off, tip it over the bowl and the kernels run out of the spout.

Blade ring
A ring of 201 stainless steel sits in the centre hole and shaves the kernels away as the cob passes through.
2
Clear chamber
The loose kernels fall into this see through ring around the blade, so you can tell when it needs emptying.
3
Pouring spout
Tip the stripper and the kernels run out of this lip into a bowl or straight into the pan.

Stripper or knife?
A sharp knife is fine for one cob. For a summer barbecue's worth, the ring is faster and much tidier.

Questions
Yes. Let a boiled or grilled cob cool enough to hold, then strip it the same way as a raw one.
Most supermarket cobs pass through the ring. An unusually thick one may not, and is better done with a knife.
Cut the stalk end off flat so the cob stands upright, and hold the top with a cloth if it is still warm from the pan.
ABS and PS plastics for the body and chamber, with a 201 stainless steel blade. It weighs about 110 g.
Thaw frozen cobs first so the blade can cut rather than chip. Very young, thin cobs may slip through the ring with some kernels still attached, so finish those with a knife.

Fresh from the farm stand
Picked up a bag of corn at the farm stand and stripped all of it that afternoon. Easy to do on the kitchen board, with one hand holding the cob steady. Pushed the ring down, a slight twist, then poured from the spout. No kernels lost.
Quick, tidy, hardly any washing up. Rinse the ring and done. Cooked cobs a bit cooler than I'd normally hold and it worked just the same as with raw ones. The kernels all end up in the chamber and then straight into the pan, with nothing stuck to the board.
My teenager was recruited to make the corn salad and found this easier than I did. Push, twist, tip. A nice bit of plastic with a steel blade ring that does exactly what it's meant to. Now it lives in the drawer by the whisk.
